How to make a duet on TikTok

If you find a TikTok video you would like to refer to in a video of your own, you can duet it. But how do you make a duet video? Here’s everything to know about duetting something on TikTok.

If you’ve spent any time onTikTok, you’ve more than likely seen posts where multiple clips are stacked next to each other in a variety of different layouts, showing people dancing, singing, and interacting with other users. This feature is called a “duet”.

A duet on TikTok refers to when a user films their video alongside another user’s original video as a way to either respond, react, or add something new.

Some people have used the feature to participate in virtual vocal duets — or even choirs — with each video being a new vocal line or instrument.

If influencers or famous TikTokers have allowed duets, it also means you can technically appear in a video alongside your favorite creator, and sometimes they may even end up seeing and reacting to it.

The possibilities for duetting on TikTok are practically endless, and the process is very simple.
